| 教学大纲 |
The course will consist of a series of 10 recorded lectures, each to be accompanied by an on-line tutorial group discussion and a plenary class session. As much as possible, each recorded lecture will present facts and the analyses of these facts on a topic (10 topics in all) using relevant models from economic theory, with a view to providing students with a good understanding of the issues involved. This is then followed by three hours of live virtual tutorial group and plenary class discussions of the issues in greater depth, as well as Q&A. It is expected that, upon completion of the course, each student will not only have a good knowledge of China’s evolving economic system and changing economic conditions, but also a broad understanding of why and how different factors have combined to make possible China’s impressive economic performance in recent decades, and why some lessons may be transferable but others would seem not.
